I'm pretty sure, OP, that I'm not the person you're talking about, because I don't write that much House fic. But Foreman doesn't interest me, either. And I think he would interest me more if I was a racist, because then I wouldn't be as uncomfortable as I am with trying to write him doing the things he does on the show (which involve taking a lot of shit from a lot of white people, and also being a huge asshole, not that there is anyone in that cast who isn't) with the unpleasantly stereotyped background the writers gave him, because why in the world does a black man who is a DOCTOR and behaves in a very upper-middle-class fashion need to have a criminal background and angst from the "hood" and a brother in prison? Not that such people don't exist, but gosh, it would have been way more interesting to let the black doctor be the one from a rich family with the daddy issues and the blond one who used to actually do drugs and BDSM could have the family in prison and the criminal record.

House MD? Has all the skanky race and gender issues some people think SPN has, which is almost as many as Heroes has, except I would say more, because everyone on House is supposed to be semi-realistic, not a superhero.

Anyhow, that said, what would you get out of "calling her" on this? Unless she steadfastly refuses to write any black characters on any show ever, doesn't have any black OCs, and clearly actually is a racist, you're going to:

* get everyone on LJ who thinks anyone who ever supported Slytherin in the HP fandom or doesn't like Maya is an OMG racist riled up at someone whom you say is your friend,

* not change your friend's behaviour, because this is so not gonna make her love you or Foreman,

* get on FW, which, if you like that sort of thing, fine.

And even if you did get your friend to write Foreman, she doesn't like him, so she's not going to do a great job, and she's not going to write you the fic you want.

Are you really omg concerned about your friend's racism? Then talk to her about it in private, because that is where change is most likely to occur. Getting people dogpiled in general tends to make them dig in and fortify their positions and say things that they later will regret (some people call this "showing your ass"; I tend to call it "reacting badly to the shock of having 5000 strangers in your journal"). If your goal is to change her opinion of your favourite character, talk with her about some of the eps he's in and find out how she sees him and point out why you think he's cool, and rec her some fics that you like (obviously, though, not something that's anti her OTP or whatever).

If, however, you are butthurt because she's writing the fics she wants to write and not the ones you want her to write...grow up. (SRSLY, the one person who put the most pressure on me to write Foreman when WE had this conversation was a white girl who happens to think Omar Epps is hot. i.e. not exactly a pure motivation there.)
